Gareth Jenkins reckons Wales have rammed the critics' words down their throats with victory over Argentina.

Dragons boss Jenkins was under pressure after making the worst start of any Wales coach, including the record loss at Twickenham.

But he declared: "This was a big win for us and we've proved to the doubters that we're a good team.

"I told the critics to judge from here because this is where our World Cup campaign starts and we've beaten a good side. Argentina are among the top five in the world so I'm delighted with the win."

Skipper Gareth Thomas, who got Wales on their way with the first of their three tries, said: "We've taken a lot of flack in recent weeks and this win will lift us as players - and as a nation.

"We've always backed each other as a team, but this is a massive boost of confidence."

Argentina boss Marcelo Loffreda launched a scathing attack on English referee Chris White for failing to award a penalty try late on. Loffreda said: "Wales deserved to win, but we were treated unfairly. There seemed to be one rule for them and another for us. He was virtually coaching Wales, not refereeing."
